CEREC Same-Day Crowns in Centerville, OH
Navigating daily life with missing or damaged teeth can be a struggle. Ohio Holistic Dental Center offers high-quality CEREC same-day custom crowns and traditional crowns to restore your smile's function and beauty.
The Impact of Missing and Damaged Teeth
Even one missing tooth can shift the harmony of your bite, leading to a cascade of issues from difficulty chewing to the misalignment of remaining teeth. Damaged or decayed teeth can become sources of discomfort and embarrassment, undermining your dental health and confidence in your smile.
What Does a Crown Do?
A dental crown is a protective cap for a damaged or decayed tooth, effectively restoring its shape, strength, and appearance. Our dentist in Dayton may recommend a crown for the following reasons:
- Restore a broken tooth
- Stabilize a cracked tooth
- Protect a tooth with extensive decay
- Strengthen a tooth with a large filling
- Support dental bridgework
- Cover a dental implant
- Conceal a discolored or misshapen tooth
How Is a CEREC Crown Different?
Unlike traditional crowns fabricated in a custom dental lab, CEREC restorations are crafted in-house, within a single visit to our Dayton, OH, dental office. CEREC stands for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics and uses CAD/CAM (computer-aided design and manufacturing) to create durable dental crowns. The benefits of CEREC include:
- No need for temporary crowns
- Single appointment restorations
- Precise digital impressions for a perfect fit
- Durable, tooth-colored ceramic materials
The CEREC Restoration Journey
Getting started with the CEREC restoration process begins with a thorough exam and then preparation of the affected tooth. Using leading-edge imaging technology, we craft a highly accurate 3-D model of your tooth, ensuring your new crown fits your bite perfectly.
The CEREC milling unit in our office then fabricates your custom crown from a ceramic block. This process can take 45 minutes to an hour, after which we bond the restoration to your tooth, and you'll leave us with your beautiful new crown securely in place.
Choosing Lab-Fabricated Crowns
For some patients, a lab-fabricated crown may be a better choice. This traditional process involves preparing the tooth and taking a digital impression used by a dental lab to create your new restoration. In the meantime, we'll place a temporary on the tooth to protect it, then have you return to our office to place the crown on your tooth when it's ready.
With proper care, including diligent oral hygiene and regular dental checkups, a crown can last 15 years or longer.
Do Broken or Missing Teeth Hold You Back?
We understand our patients' needs vary, so we offer options to provide the perfect solution for your situation. Whether you choose a CEREC crown or the lab-fabricated version, you can be confident of high-quality, long-lasting results.

I received my permanent crowns, and they are perfect.
I am a new patient, and this was by far the most professional and comprehensive dental experience I ever had in my 60 years. From the moment you walk in, Amber is there greeting you with a smile and a warm welcome. The office décor and the experience with the staff is relaxing and inviting. It doesn’t feel like a visit to the dentist. During the time with Dr. Linty the focus is on your overall wellbeing, not only dental health. Dr. Linty spends whatever time is necessary to make sure you’re educated and comfortable.
I was experiencing significant bone loss on four of my bottom front teeth, which was obvious once it was pointed out by Dr. Linty. We decided it was best to crown those four teeth for stability and long-term health. Throughout the four-hour procedure Dr. Linty and her amazing assistant Desiree were incredible, taking care of me well beyond anything I would have ever expected. I was chilled and Desiree brought me a soft blanket, Dr. Linty proactively applied Vaseline to my lips several times during the procedure to assure my lips were comfortable. Throughout the entire procedure Dr. Linty takes time to explain what she is doing, why she’s doing it and answers any questions I had. I received my permanent crowns, and they are perfect.
I want to Thank Dr. Linty for your superior care. Thanks to your entire staff for their friendly, courteous, and personal touch. If you’re looking for a dentist that truly cares about your wellbeing and one that specializes in Holistic care, then Ohio Holistic Dental Center is your place. Hands down the Best.

Frequently Asked Questions
CEREC technology allows your dentist to create custom dental crowns during a single office visit. CEREC crowns are cut from porcelain and color-matched to your teeth while you wait! Likewise, your dental bridge is built to specification as you relax in the dental chair.
Reasons you might need a dental crown include:
- To lengthen short or worn teeth
- To save damaged or at-risk teeth
- To support a dental bridge
- To top a dental implant
- To conceal cosmetic flaws
Your Centerville dentist will evaluate your crown needs to determine your candidacy.
How CEREC Technology Works
CEREC technology allows us to take comfortable digital impressions without messy molding material. We send the digital mold to our on-site computer for design. Then, the design reaches the printer, where your restoration or prosthetic is sculpted to specification.
Your dentist makes final adjustments to fit and color before cementing your crown in place. We prepare your teeth before impressions to ensure proper fit.
These are not cut-rate prosthetics and restorations but durable options that minimize the waiting period and make dental care work for you!
In many cases, we can do everything during one office visit.
